Claire Richards: Popstar To Opera Star To Lad Mag Babe?

You might remember Claire Richards from Steps, the incredibly successful UK pop group from the late 90s/early 00's. If you weren't down with Steps, that's no big deal. All you need to know is that she's talented, curvy, and naked in a British tabloid.

Let's look at the facts: she was famous, she's made a comeback by appearing on a British reality show, and now she's popped up naked in The Sun. That's practically the formula for becoming a lad mag star, right? So we figure if the whole opera thing doesn't work out, Claire has a budding career as a Nuts babe to look forward to. At least, we're looking forward to it.
